The Platform wants a pan-European synthesis of results from CEF ITS corridors

18/04/2018

The European ITS Platform organized a two days meeting in Frankfurt (28th February - March 1st 2018) to monitor and coordinate the corridor’s activities. The main topics discussed in the meeting were:

the overall status of the Best Practice collection,

the update of the Deployment Guidelines,

the format and the next steps of the Best Practice report,

next steps towards the Reference Handbook,

the liaison with external stakeholders and the upcoming workshops.

The results of Best Practice collection for 2017, as described in the Achievements Report are:

29 Best Practices were updated;

27 new Best Practices have been drafted,

A plan to check, verify and update 102 Best Practices was decided. It will be done through an international cooperation well represented in the following scheme:

It is under discussion how the C-ITS topic comes in and how the European ITS Platform has to cooperate and how contribute to the results/specifications of C-ROADS. It is in the role of the European ITS platform community to make use of it in an integrated and coherent way.

A reference handbook is being prepared. The general aim is to compile the today’s separate Deployment Guidelines and Best Practices in one Reference Handbook. The first structure of the Reference Handbook was shown during the last expert group meeting in Aix en Provence. All intelligent systems have the following three goals: Improvement of traffic flow, safety and environment, which needs to be considered in the document. The handbook will reflect this concept. Every Deployment Guidelines should consider if C-ITS can be implemented in the DG. This procedure ensures a clear connection between C-ITS and the DG.

Background

European road operators and authorities teamed up with the European Commission in the EasyWay initiative to foster European harmonisation of ITS, delivering prominent results such as the DATEX II standards and VMS harmonisation specifications. ITS Deployment Guidelines were adopted by all EW Member States after a unique consultation and mediation process for use in ITS implementation projects with European added value on the TEN-T road network.
